Feature request:
a way to sync between work/home computers.  Powermarks use(d) something called NetSync. 
Isn't it just as easy to save your Linkman file to a flash drive and then transfer the file to your Linkman setup on the other computer?  That's what I did for years with Powermarks.  Even after they made Net Sync available, I preferred keeping my bookmarks to myself; I also didn't want to be dependent on the availability of another site.  I currently have Linkman on only one computer, but if I put it on another one, I'd probably use the same sync procedure I used with Powermarks.

Eventually, I tracked down the problem to either " and ' characters in this particular instance and when I deleted all of them, the problem went away.
I suspect it has something to do with UTF-8 encoding as well.
I've seen this when someone cuts and pastes from MS Word or other programs that use slanted apostrophes and quotation marks rather than the straight up-and-down ' and " .   If this occurs in text over which I have some control, I'll change all the slanted stuff to straight up and down characters -- a simple search-and-replace will usually do the trick.  And yes, I think UTF-8 can represent the slanted stuff, but programs that can't handle UTF-8 will show the slanted stuff as strange characters.

I have clipped some text of a webpage and it appears to contain just text.
However, when I examine it with different utilities like AptEdit or Metapad, I notice that there are hidden characters like â€.
I don't think these are "hidden characters"; it's more likely that the document was encoded in UTF-8, and that AptEdit and Metapad can't handle UTF-8.  I had a similar problem with text that looked normal in UltraEdit, but when I tried to import it into a different program, all kinds of strange characters appeared.  I went back into UltraEdit and saved the document as ANSI/ASCII rather than UTF-8.  Then, when I imported it again into the program that couldn't handle UTF-8, it looked normal.

Feature requests:
--Add all 4 buttons to Firefox.  (Search in Linkman, Show Linkman, add to linkman, add to linkman and edit)
Since right-clicking on the Linkman Fox icon gives you all four possibilities, why would you want separate buttons?  Wouldn't that just add clutter?

Since no one has replied, I think I may not have been as clear as I had hoped.  Perhaps two screenshots will help clarify the problem.  I set hotkeys for the various node categories on my launchbar.  For example, CTL+Win+M will open the node showing my MS Office apps.  It normally looks like this:

launchbar_ms.gif

I've also set a hotkey (CTL+Win+C) for the node for Control Panel apps (that node came with my copy of LaunchBar Commander).  However, if I use this hotkey to open the list of Control Panel apps, the next time I use any other hotkey, the Control Panel apps listing will be attached at the end.  For example, the next time I try to bring up my MS Office apps, the listing looks like this:

launchbar_combinedcr.gif

(I hope the images will show up--they don't in my preview screen  :( .  Also, I've cropped the second image to make it small enough to show up full size.  The actual listing includes all the Control Panel apps, not just those starting with A.)

This happens with all the hot key listings: once I've used the Control Panel hotkey, all others will include all the Control Panel apps.  The only way I'm able to correct this is to shut down LaunchBar Commander and then restart it.
